Samaritans responds to ONS personal well-being in the UK data
Responding to the publication of the latest Personal well-being in the UK data by the Office for National Statistics, Mubeen Bhutta, Head of Policy, Public Affairs and Campaigns at Samaritans said:
“This worrying report is yet further evidence of the huge mistake that the Government risks making if local suicide prevention funding is allowed to run out. With happiness levels down and anxiety increasing across the UK, it is clearly time to be investing more in the mental health of the nation not less and I urge the Chancellor to right this wrong in his upcoming Autumn Statement.”
